Abstract

Gastric trichobezoar describes a collection of undigested hairs in the stomach frequently resulting from trichophagia (hair consumption). Diagnosis may be delayed since the symptoms and findings are non-specific. We describe a 16-year-old girl with symptoms persisting for longer than 10 years, presenting to and being treated by various health institutions, but only diagnosed with trichobezoar at the age of 16.

Özet

Gastrik trikobezoar, sıklıkla trikofaji (kıl/saç yeme) sonucu görülen, midede sindirilmemiş kıllardan oluşan bir birikimdir. Hastalar uzun süre asemptomatik kalabildiği ve yakınma ve bulgular da nonspesifik olduğu için yıllarca tanı konulamayabilir. Burada, 10 yıldan uzun süredir yakınmaları olan, defalarca sağlık kuruluşlarına başvurup tedavi gören, ancak trikobezoar tanısını oldukça geç alan 16 yaşındaki bir kız hasta sunulmuştur.
